TEASER: Ready to be installed...

Hey guys,

Been on the forums for quite awhile...just keep to myself. Anyway, look what came in today. Should have pics in a few days after install...

The guy I spoke with on the phone recommended these Hankook Ventus Evo K110 (245/35/20). Full write up on these tires and H&R's when I get everything mounted.

Thanks! I'm pretty excited. I'm nervous the front two wheels won't clear though. The salesman guaranteed me they would clear our brakes, but I dunno. Little skeptical.

Have you try putting one wheel on the front for clearance? in the worse case you can use spacers. I'm sure you don't want to hear this right.

Haha...as soon as the fedex guy dropped my rims off I mounted mine to see if they cleared and I didnt even buy tires yet. Test fit them!

Well, quick update I'm quite pissed. I went to use the emergency jack in the trunk to take my front wheel off to test fit. I get all the lugs off and find out theres a center lug under the acura logo on my OEM wheels. And of course I don't have the necessary tool to remove it. So i just wasted 20 mins of my life. Next, I went to an audio shop who quoted me $500!!!!! For spring and wheel install not to mention he "needed" at least 24 hours to work on the car. So today, I went to a mom and pop mechanic shop and awaiting a phone call from them. These friggin mechanics are so unreliable!

Don't have the offset, i believe it's +42. The wheels are Concept One RS-8 in 20x8.5 I woulda went with 20x10 in the rear but the salesman on the phone didn't recommend it. He did guarantee me they would clear our brake calipers. They are also TPMS compatible. Pics may take until mid next week guys sorry. I figured someone here in SW Florida wanted to make a quick buck for 4 hours of work. But I guess not. I'll keep you all updated.

I paid for my springs install $40.00 per side and they will have to remove the wheels so why charge extra. I'd go to another mechanic or reliable shop.
